Species Hunt?

[Plankton Boy]

Just Wondering if any of the admin team would wanna set up a species hunt. :?
I have seen this on a couple of other sites (not as good as this one i add)
And it looks a blast.
Just a case of catching as many species of different kind and submitting a photo in the album. And making up a scoring system.
Wot do you all think. :wink:

How many points for a "Plankton Boy" then :?: :?: :?: :?: :lol:

I kinda like the sound of this one, especially if we can include what you guys call "mini-species". I want to go down and fish off a rock wall somewhere with my 7 foot spinning rod, 4lb main line, and a 3-hook flapper rig with the snoods tied of 2lb test attached to size 16 dry fly hooks. :) 8)

nothing like a species hunt to upset the natives on that other site! I expect that you have read the posts PB and note that it is a sea-angling.org member heading the table. ....... not one to boast but 19 species so far this year and counting.....

yankeebrit ,
most matches limit hook size to size 4 minimum so that is the smallest hook I use (cant see to tie the smaller ones anyway)

I got fed up with rats taking my bait at Milford.So I put a size 8 hook on a bit of line,and baited it with a tiny bit of Sandeel.I placed the bait near the pipe in the wall.And Bingo,2 minutes later I had a rat.I didnt realise they could jump about 4 feet though :shock:

[Speciman]

Rats have been known to enter the sewerage system, work through the pipes and then surface up through the toilet.

Perhaps I should stay at home and 'fish' eskimo style over the toilet bowl. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hmmmm! Running a very close 2nd to Geejayy as the site nutter! :wink:

No offence Geejayy!.......but eating your bait? :lol:

So far this year I've had:-

Poor Cod, Pout, Whiting, Pollack, Dogfish......Carp, Bream, Roach, Eel (size of a Conger).....sorry, lost myself for a minute. :roll:

[yankeebrit]

I just had to ask, didn't I? Still, I have heard that they go well with chips. :wink:

. :roll:

site nutter! , well, in retrospect the title seems about right.

as to the braised calamari a la top of colemanlamp , i got damn hungry that night on milford . and it was going to waste with no fish about, mind you lost my appetite after 2 and surpriseingly
didn't throw up.
much to the dissapiontment of the guy i was fishing with.

who incedently supplied some grub for the next trip compriseing of a 3 course meal starting with smoked eel on toast followed by a chicken/bacon and fryed onion dish and to finnish more chicken fillets in a white wine sauce
all cooked to order on the beachwith a gas primus, he was instantly oppointed head chef for following trips.

Brownie no offence taken, GJ.
